Trump's promotion of his own golfing resorts is an 'invitation to graft,' said the ethics expert.
The former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics slammed President Donald Trump for promoting a Trump-owned golf course on social media, characterizing the commander-in-chief's efforts as "shameless, corrupt and repugnant presidential profiteering."
"This is Trump’s most explicit commingling of personal interests and public office to date," Shaub wrote."This is the tone from the top that leads his appointees to violate ethics rules." The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, which is suing the president over possible ethics violations, released a statement calling Trump's tweet an advertisement.
Similar instances of promotion abound. In a July 2018 tweet, the president boasted about Trump Turnberry, another golf resort in Scotland, writing that he would be making some phone calls and that the"the weather is beautiful, and this place is incredible!"
